How to Spend Your Summer with a Bang? + Giveaway

Things that come into mind when summer is mentioned are waterparks, beach, out of town trips like Boracay, Batangas, Palawan and Puerto Galera or any place where swimsuits, sunnies and sunblock is a must-have. However, last Wednesday, I was fortunate to discover a very unique and awesome experience at Stronghand Shooting Range.

Stronghand Shooting Range takes pride being known as a teaching range. Mr. Alfred M. Zaballa, Range Officer was very patient and fun while giving us tips and reminders.

As beginners, we attended the basic course, "The Proper & Practical Pistol" where we were taught:

The 4 Rules of Gun Safety

How to Handle a Pistol

How to Clear a Pistol

How to Shoot a Target

The basic course can be completed in one session. Normally, it lasts 1.5 hours with live firing. They also offer Advance Classes which covers fast target acquisition, timed shooting, twin tamps, target traverse, quick reloading and a lot more. Private sessions are also available upon request.

After the course, I was both excited and nervous to do the live shooting. We used a 9MM HS Pistol. Stronghand is an exclusive distributor of HS pistols. These are very high quality pistols which features grip safety, trigger safety, firing pin block/drop safety, loaded chamber indicators, out of battery safety and a lot more.

Stronghand Shooting Range has a toxic-free environment. Aside from using toxic-free formulation of ammo, they also have HEPA filter and turbine air exchanger.

It is also family-friendly. It provides a totally safe, comfortable and fun experience. They have a 180 degree viewing window, seminar room,
large and small bays and their staff has an approachable attitude about guns and ammo. They also have a coffee shop and prices are very affordable.

Learning to shoot in the firing range should be part of your bucket list and here are a few reasons:

1. It is very accessible. Stronghand is located at La Defense Building 1660 E. Rodriguez Sr. Ave., Cubao, Quezon City.

2. There is no need to get concerned about swimsuits and beach perfect bodies. You can come in your most comfortable attire. Only ear muffs and glasses are important.

3. It can also boost your confidence.

4. It is a perfect way to de-stress and say goodbye to your worries and fears.

5. Shooting teaches us discipline and responsibility too.

Are you wondering how was my target board?
